Good morning! Just a little "heads up" for any Northern Ireland crafters who might be in the Dungannon area on Saturday (3rd Nov). I'll be demoing in the Paperworks shop in the Linen Green, Dungannon and would love to see some friends! The shop is well worth a visit and I hope you will like the cards, little bags etc I'll be making throughout the day. I will,of course, be demoing some Tonic Studios dies, punches and stamps along with some other gorgeous goodies from the shop.

Good morning. Today's card is just a simple bit of stamping and punching but I wanted to try this colour scheme for a little change. It was Lynne's birthday card and now that her birthday is over, it's ok to share!

I spent a while getting some doily shapes cut out for use when I "got around to it" and had a look to see what new things I could make with them. I realised they were just the ideal size to make cute little bags - even better when you can use the matching doily shape and strip punch for a handle :)

I've threaded some fine gold ribbon through the doily strip on the handle this time

I wasn't able to make cards for my blog for a wee while as I was busy working on other things but I have a couple ready now to share over the next few days. My mother had a big (!) birthday so we had a lovely family get-together last weekend and it was great to see the "Cambridge contingent" over for a few days.

I created the beautiful scalloped border with the Border System and Edger 3 in teal for the top and also on the actual card base. On the card base I used the Butterflies Accent punch and backed it with matching teal cardstock.

I know it's a bit early but just thought I should mention - I'm going to be doing a demo of Tonic punches and some other things in the Paperworks shop at the Linen Green at Dungannon on Saturday 3rd November so if anyone from NI is in the area feel free to call in and introduce yourself - I'd love to see you.

Good morning. Another month has flown by and I can't belive it's now October....we didn't even have a Summer and Autumn has sneaked up on us! Well, I'm not ready yet to give in to Autumn colours and have coloured my Peony stamp in Carmine and Ruby Promarkers with a little glitter on the Gold in the centre. This is my DT card for the October challenge at Sir Stampalot and the theme is "Punch away"...so right up my street!
